God and the Pandemic: A Christian Reflection on the Coronavirus and Its Aftermath by N.T. Wright

4.0

I put off reading this one because I felt like it was too early for Wright to know enough to properly reflect on the “aftermath” of the pandemic. I certainly think that waiting to publish would have been helpful, as some of the reflections on how the church can live in the present seemed a bit premature. Nevertheless, the book was a worthwhile read because the overall challenge to center our response to suffering around the kingdom and the cross, and to remember the way God uses his kingdom-people to respond to the suffering of the world, is a timeless truth and is relevant no matter the specific suffering addressed.
